With Easter about 2 weeks away, most of us will have ham. Here is a recipe for a pineapple glazed ham.
You can use any type ham, but I prefer a whole cured ham. You can use a boneless or spiral ham.
This glaze will work for any type of ham.
Ingredients:
1(15.25oz.) can sliced pineapple,drained with reserved juice.
1(40z) jar maraschino cherries, drained
1 cup brown sugar
Whole cloves(optional)
Directions:
1. Before baking ham, place pineapple slices on ham, secure with toothpicks. Place cherries in the center of pineapple(you might have to secure them with a toothpick.) You can also insert whole cloves in pineapple(optional)
2. In a medium microwave safe bowl combine brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice. Mix together and microwave about 5 minutes, until mixture is thick. Pour some of the glaze over the ham about every 15 minutes in the last hour of baking until all is used.
What temp and for how long?
ReplyDeleteDepending on the type of ham you have and the size of the ham. Cooking instructions should be on package. I set oven to 350 degrees and figure about 20 minutes per pound. You might want to cover the pan with alumium foil until the last few minutes so the ham doesn't get too brown.
DeleteAnother way you can prepare it is to cook ham according to directions and the last hour pour the glaze over it and bake until glaze is golden brown. Thanks for your comment.
